Hi, The discussion on PRAM settings and Daylight Savings Time got me thinking FB-wise about a problem that I'm working on. I'm trying to find a way to reset the AppleTalk connection to Ethernet (instead of default) after a user zaps the PRAM in one of our student labs. I've been doing it in AppleScript, but it runs way too slow. My experience with FB is more along the lines of data collection and user interface stuff (with a little NASA shuttle crew experiment thrown in), not really messing with the operating system. What i want, is something that would check the AppleTalk connection at startup. If the connection isn't via Ethernet, then change it to Ethernet and make it active. *Seems* simple enough. Ha! Any help with this, public or private would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -jonathan2 ********************* Jonathan Neff UITS Indiana University jjneff@... *********************
